First sentence: There is a sense in which the aims of this book may already be compromised by its very existence, a sense in which even as you read this you are open to an argument that potentially undermines much that we have to say.
Description: This work explores the growing conviction that dominant trends in social constructionism are inadequate or incomplete and risk preventing social constructionism from maturing into a viable and coherent body of theory, method and practice.
